So I was looking at a couple other threads on this and decided to give it a go. http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=210751
The only problem was that I couldn't go straight out from my hsf to the side of the case because that's where the handle/lock is. Off to Home Depot. I picked up some flexible ducting that goes behind a dryer and figured it would do the job. Once home I made some adapters for each end of the ducting to connect to the 80 mm fan on one end and my hsf on the other end. Then taped it all up. Next, I took out my dremel and did the normal cutting the hole in the side of the case for the intake fan. Hooked it all up and it worked nicely. My load temps are down 7 degrees C and I was able to puch my oc a little further for a grand total of $5. Here are some pics I took with my POS digicam. Don't complain.
